Title.

I'm going to speak to my doctor again but my options are limited.

Cannabis was treating inflammation in my back after my disc ruptured and trapped the nerves in my spine.

I initially took prescriptions but they turned me into a zombie and gave me incredible stomach pain and would lead to ulcers.

I then tried cannabis, which I was addicted to as a teen. It worked amazingly. I consumed it 24/7 all last year and my back was fine.

I tried kicking 3 times, and each time on the 2nd weeks the inflammation on my disc returned and the pain.

I simply cannot live on cannabis, because it makes me selfish, isolated, and not care about anything.

I have kicked it for good now, on week 4 and self testing I am pissing clean.

However, same thing again, around week 2-3 my back pain started to return.

I feel trapped. I love the feeling of not being high 24/7, and I have no desire to even do it ever again... But each dull ache in my back lowers my resolve.

Those of you out there who are addicted, but don't have any chronicle injuries - go live your life. Enjoy it. Think how lucky you are.

I'm 36 years old and feel like I'm simply fucked.
